in reply to Perl Win32 Apache & mod_fcgid not working

It seems you reported that bug half a year ago via RT. I would guess that there is some kind of bug you encounter. Have you tried launching your (FCGI) script stand-alone from the console and seeing whether that produces an error? Also try redirecting STDERR to a file to see whether Perl creates an error. Maybe add sleep calls to delay the premature exit, just to convince yourself that Apache launches Perl and that Perl enters the ->Accept loop.

    * Have you tried launching your (FCGI) script stand-alone from the console and seeing whether that produces an error?
    --- Yes - it works and it works a regular cgi as well

    * try redirecting STDERR to a file to see whether Perl creates an error
    --- Tried it - the script is not even started to run

    * Maybe add sleep calls to delay the premature exit, just to convince yourself that Apache launches Perl and that Perl enters the ->Accept loop.
    --- Well apache launches perl - but perl just closes and it is not loading the script

    The main point Perl stats and exits due to some communication error with mod_fcgid.
